The Lego Movie director Chris McKay says they will bring in more lady characters for the sequel.
The Warner Bros. animated movie hit theaters in February and only starred three prominent female characters — and one of them was a cat (pictured above).
In a new interview with Daily Mail Online, McKay admits that there was an imbalance in The Lego Movie and hopes to fix it for the planned sequel.
“I’m not sure our movie passes the Bechdel test entirely and I think that it’s important,” said McKay in reference to the question of whether or not a piece of media includes a conversation between two women that isn’t about a man. “We have a lot of producers [who] were female who had concerns and we were always constantly saying to ourselves: ‘Are we just a bunch of white guys sitting here making this movie from our own myopic point of view?’”
